If you start down that route you are quickly expected to do that for every layover. Cheap upfront financing for FR. And invoicing after the fact is a slow process there, where you are likely to only see maybe halve the money again due to some limit rule they will drag out. Crew fought hard for company supplied overnighting but there will be some run-in problems until control is up to scratch with a full
sized for all eventualitiest list of pre-agreed and contracted suppliers around every airport.
